Emotion Dysregulation Autism

GHP Mental Health Awards 2026

Most Empowering Autistic Young Persons Mental Health Charity 2026 - UK

At Emotion Dysregulation in Autism (EDA), we stand beside autistic young people aged 12–25 who are struggling with self-harm and low mood, offering understanding where it is often missing. As an award-winning charity, we provide compassionate, peer-led support through trained autistic mentors who transform lived experience into hope. Across schools, transitions into adulthood, and early intervention in the community, we help prevent crisis and create brighter futures. This year alone, we have supported 41 young people through 1-to-1 mentoring—each story a testament to resilience, healing, and the power of being truly seen and supported.
